Goodness equals happiness…

Leave a comment

Personal happiness arises from personal goodness. Only when
you are an internally good man or woman can you be a carefree
man or woman. – Vernon Howard

The root of all happiness lies in our being comfortable in our own skin. That comfort comes from a deep acceptance of ourselves. We’re more fully able to accept ourselves when we’re good.

Goodness means being truthful to ourselves and to all others. Goodness means taking care of ourselves and all those we encounter daily. Goodness means being loving to our own-selves plus all others.

When we thus become comfortable with us at a deep level, we can feel real good, we can truly be good. Goodness then emerges from our very being, others notice it.

Are you good?

Who’s running the show?

The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show. – Leonard Cohen

There’s a greater intelligence, there’s a source from which all things, concepts, values, life and meaning proceed. At certain times of our lives or even during the course of a day, we can feel it, we can sense the underpinning of it all.

The trick is to recognize that power, realize that it runs through us and everyone else. Consciously accept it and allow it a free run in our life. Application of faith might be necessary initially.

Things start to happen when we do that. Try it.

Where art thou headed?

If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going. – Professor Irwin Corey

What general direction are you headed with regard to your physical, mental and spiritual health?

Sometimes we feel that the future will take care of itself. Actually it does do that, all we have to do is fine tune our present. We must be happy and healthy now as far as possible, then the future takes care of itself.

Better to change direction as needed, NOW!

If someone irritates you!

Leave a comment

If some one irritates you, causes feelings of resentment, you should sympathetically seek to discern his viewpoint, his reasons for such objectionable conduct. If once you understand your neighbor, you will become tolerant, and this tolerance will grow into friendship and ripen into love. – The Urantia Papers

Understanding and love among all is the only way the planet will eventually find peace.

How will such a thing happen? Not by God doing it for us or by some other magical means. It must be achieved little by little and one person at a time. It will only happen when you and I change. When such a change becomes apparent to our family and neighbors, they will wonder what it was that changed us!

Then the virus of love and understanding will spread to them and eventually to all we touch, which is the entire planet! This is the prescription for love, peace and happiness that we all seek!

Do some, Be some…

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for things we did not do that is inconsolable. – Sydney J. Harris

Some other regrets come from ways we couldn’t be. And I think these regrets are worse.

However if you find your Life Purpose and/or know how to be blissfully happy then any regret can be erased.

Any regrets that you harbor cost you deeply. They stifle your growth and keep you from moving forward. This is also true of people (self included) or situations that you haven’t been able to forgive.

So take this quote with a grain of salt! Understand that you must try and be all that you’re capable of and at the same time you don’t want regret to sully your life today!

Find the seed!

Leave a comment

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. – Oliver Wendell Holmes

You are like a seed. A seed comes with all that it needs to grow into a mighty oak. It dances with Nature to extract water/sunshine and provides life-giving fruit and shade.

Find the seed that you are, deep inside you. Once you make contact you’ll have the means to be rejuvenated and motivated like never before!

You will grow like a strong oak and know yourself. You will then give to those around you, in ways no one else can.

Find your seed and discover yourself!
